Hello Folks,

So my 1992 960 wagon's warning light indicator panel has been intermittently shorting on and off. There are some indicators that have been on for a while (wiper fluid & SRS) but recently the entire strip will shut off as if none of the lights are on, then randomly switches on again. Concerned if an important light comes on and it's recognition is delayed due to the short. Which has already happened with the check engine light and radiator light. So it really doesn't matter what lights are on, they all go off with the glitch. Anyway, any idea where the short (faulty contact) is most likely located? Sounds to me a contact that feeds the entire light strip, but who knows? Thanks for any suggestions.

Another question... When a shop checks the engine codes and clears any (assuming they fixed them), the light should go off correct? Why I ask is my car just came back (yesterday) from the shop after having the engine light turn on, turns out the cam timing sensor connection was destroyed (by what I don't know) and causing the fault code. They replaced the sensor. As I was driving last night the warning indicator bar was all black (short related) then randomly turned on along with the check engine light. Took it in this am, they ran the diagnostics and nothing came up. Hard to tell if the light is still on since the light strip is on one of its blackout shorts, uuuugggh!

Any thoughts?
